Do you think that you know what you do or don't believe? I ask, because that's all the skill or talent being an atheist or a theist takes.
If you think that you know what you believe, it's likely that other people are similarly equipped, and each of you is answering a relatively simple question about yourselves, isn't it?
-and yes, there actually are scientific ways of determining whether a person is likely to respond to a survey about belief in gods in a specific way. What's interesting about that, I think, isn't so much that people who don't believe in gods tend to answer given questions about other things in a specific way, but those sets of respondents who answer questions much as the other group might.
There are, apparently, alot of theists who think exactly like atheists, and vv.
